    Virtual Reality

    I guess the hololens didn't make it along with all of the other supplies. I have been playing around with Google Cardboard lately and it's neat but the picture is pretty terrible. Is it safe to assume that Occulis Rift et al have a considerably better picture than cardboard?

    The main problem with the pull out method is that people don't do it. Same problem with condoms, the pill, etc.

    The only reason to shoot him with a non-lethal round is as a "message". Perhaps they want to let him know that bad things are going to happen if he sticks his nose in the wrong place but they're not actually to the point of straight-up murdering a cop.

    A lot of steak houses put butter on their steaks. As I always say, you can't make anything worse with cream, butter, or bacon. I throw butter in the pan cooking various things if I just want them to brown well. Butter makes shit brown.

    I'm on the "new" version (Gen 4) although they don't offer the top tier here for some reason ("up to" 15 mbps).

    My son's friend hit's his mother...Mother kicks son out. Now friend over my house.

    Being home during the day isn't exactly the same as leaving a 10 year old and a couple younger kids alone overnight. If it was me I would definitely consider a call to CPS. If it's the first time anyone has complained she's not going to lose the kids. If it's not the first time then maybe she...

    Just to make you non-google fiber people feel better, I'll post my stats again. Currently paying $69.99 for "up to" 10 mbps down and "up to" 1 mbps up. I have a 10 GB/month data allowance with an additional 10 GB that I can use between 2 and 8 AM. Here's how that "up to 10/1 mbps" is...

    Smokers / Grills

    Alright bros, I think after using charcoal only for the last 8-10 years it's time for me to have a gas grill again. I love charcoal but I just never grill anymore when I have to spend an hour getting the grill up to temp and dealing with ashes and shit. If I'm going to have an actual barbecue...

    Home Security systems....

    I just feel like if you live in a nice neighborhood then break ins are extremely rare and break ins that would be stopped by a burglar alarm are probably even rarer. I lived in big cities for 13 years and the only person I was aware of whose house was broken into was a drug dealer.

    Home Security systems....

    Why do you need a security system? Seems to me like they are annoying about 500 times for every time they do anything helpful. This does sound better to me than the ones where you get locked in to stupidly expensive monitoring contracts though.

    Brahma - My only concern with your parenting skills is the fact that you ask for advice on this board. It sounds like you are a good guy and you are going above and beyond to try to help this kid which is admirable.

    I rarely use my kitchenaid mixer but it's because I don't bake. I have used my immersion blender maybe 3 times total but I don't make soup that much. Not sure what else that thing is for. I don't use my mandolin ever because it is a piece of shit that didn't cut well the day I got it. Fuck...

    Just eat a chimichanga with a blow dryer on high right in your face and you pretty much have the Phoenix experience. Seriously though, I lived in Phoenix for 3 years and never really found anything worth doing except driving through Sedona and visiting the Grand Canyon.

    The Brink (HBO) - June 21

    I always assume that all politicians are degenerate scumbags but this was a bit too over the top for me. I know it's supposed to be a comedy but everybody is a cliche and the drug dealing fighter pilot just doesn't even make sense.

    Mac and Cheese is one of those things that even when it's bad it's good. I did overdose on it in college though. The water pump on my car went out right after I got to college which ate up all of my startup money and I hadn't found a job yet and I found a sale where they were selling store...

    I thought Noodle was talking about bratwurst or something. If your idea of high quality hot dogs is just Ball Park franks then I am sticking with my "not good enough to be pretentious about the toppings" stance. I eat hot dogs fairly often but I have never confused them with good food.

    That was such a weird year. After like 10 years of total shit it seemed so strange to be watching the 49ers win games. Just making the playoffs was such a big deal and then to go to the NFC Championship was crazy. I almost didn't want them to go to the superbowl just because it seemed like...

    I haven't been to Cincinnati or tried that so-called "chili" but it sounds like the kind of thing you would make if you were totally out of groceries and drug some shit out of the back of the pantry and made the best of it.
